Con su amplio cielo y tierra cálida, el reino de la princesa Gie Gie es una tierra hermosa. Pero el agua potable es escasa en su pequeño pueblo africano. Y por mucho que lo intente, Gie Gie no puede acercar el agua; ella no puede hacerla correr más clara. Todas las mañanas, sale antes del sol para hacer el largo viaje al pozo. En lugar de una corona, ella usa una olla pesada en la cabeza para recoger el agua. Después del viaje a casa, y de hervir el agua para beber y limpiar, Gie Gie piensa en el viaje que hará mañana. Ella sueña con un día en que su pueblo tenga agua fría y cristalina.


 

English Description:

With its wide warm heaven and earth, the kingdom of Princess Gie Gie is a beautiful land. But clean water is scarce in her small African town. And try as she might, Gie Gie can't get the water close; she can't make it run any clearer. Every morning, he rises before the sun to make the long journey to the well. Instead of a crown, she uses a heavy pot on her head to collect the water. After the trip home, and boiling the water for drinking and cleaning, Gie Gie thinks about the trip she will take tomorrow. She dreams of a day when her town will have cold and crystal clear water.
